Prof. Ivan Ndip honoured with the Sidney J. Stein International Award 2025

Professor Ndip was honoured with the Sidney J. Stein International Award 2025 in October of this year at the 58th International Symposium on Microelectronics (IMAPS Symposium 2025) in San Diego, USA, for his significant international technical contributions to technological progress in microelectronics packaging and his exceptional commitment to IMAPS at an international level.

Prof. Dr.-Ing. Dr.-Ing. habil. Ivan Ndip is an internationally renowned expert in miniaturised and application-specific high-frequency sensors, communication and high-speed systems, as well as in research into novel millimetre-wave and terahertz packaging solutions for these systems. Last October, he received the IMAPS Outstanding Educator Award 2024 in Boston, Massachusetts, USA.

He is Head of the Antennas and High-Frequency System Integration Chair at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg.  He is also Head of Department at the  Fraunhofer Institute for Reliability and Microintegration IZM  in Berlin and Head of Fraunhofer IZM Branch Lab in Cottbus.

For more than 15 years, Professor Ndip has been contributing to the education of university students and the training of engineers and scientists in the fields of electronics packaging, antennas and electromagnetic compatibility, signal and power integrity as well as high-frequency design and system integration.

Professor Ndip teaches in the Bachelor's degree program in Electrical Engineering and in the Master's degree programs in Electrical Engineering, Physics, Micro- & Nanoelectronics, Artificial Intelligence Engineering and Business Administration and Engineering at BTU. His courses are designed to provide students with a solid theoretical and practical foundation for a successful career in academia and industry.

Short biography
Ivan Ndip is a full professor at the Brandenburg University of Technology (BTU). The goal of his Chair, Antennas and High-Frequency System Integration, is to contribute innovative solutions for the development of future high-frequency and high-speed systems, especially for mobile, satellite and space communication, radar and proximity sensors, as well as for high performance computing (HPC) and AI applications.
Ivan Ndip has also been working at Fraunhofer IZM since 2000, where he currently leads the RF & Smart Sensor Systems department in Berlin and the IZM Branch Lab for High-Frequency Sensors & High-Speed Systems in Cottbus. During his time at Fraunhofer IZM, he was also a Lecturer at Technische Universitaet Berlin from 2008 to 2019.

He is author and co-author of more than 250 publications in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings and holds more than 35 German, European and US patents. Professor Ndip is a Fellow and Life Member of IMAPS and a Senior Member of IEEE. His research has been honoured with numerous national and international awards. From 2016 to 2020, he served as Director on the Executive Board of IMAPS.

He studied Electrical Engineering and received his Dipl.-Ing. (M.Sc.), and Dr.-Ing. (Ph.D.) with the highest distinction (summa cum laude), from Technische Universitaet Berlin in 2002 and 2006 respectively. In 2017, he received his second doctorate, Dr.-Ing. habil., also in Electrical Engineering, from BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg.
